postgresql-8.4 8.4.22-0ubuntu0.12.04 source package in Ubuntu
Changelog
postgresql-8.4 (8.4.22-0ubuntu0.12.04) precise-proposed; urgency=medium * New upstream bug fix release: (LP: #1348176) - Various data integrity and other bug fixes. - Secure Unix-domain sockets of temporary postmasters started during make check. Any local user able to access the socket file could connect as the server's bootstrap superuser, then proceed to execute arbitrary code as the operating-system user running the test, as we previously noted in CVE-2014-0067. This change defends against that risk by placing the server's socket in a temporary, mode 0700 subdirectory of /tmp. - See release notes for details: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/release-8-4-22.html * Drop pg_regress patch to run tests with socket in /tmp, obsolete with above upstream changes and not applicable any more. -- Martin Pitt <email address hidden> Tue, 29 Jul 2014 14:47:30 +0200

- postgresql-8.4: object-relational SQL database, version 8.4 server
PostgreSQL is a fully featured object-relational database management
system. It supports a large part of the SQL standard and is designed
to be extensible by users in many aspects. Some of the features are:
ACID transactions, foreign keys, views, sequences, subqueries,
triggers, user-defined types and functions, outer joins, multiversion
concurrency control. Graphical user interfaces and bindings for many
programming languages are available as well.
.
This package provides the database server for PostgreSQL 8.4. Servers
for other major release versions can be installed simultaneously and
are coordinated by the postgresql-common package. A package providing
ident-server is needed if you want to authenticate remote connections
with identd.
- postgresql-client-8.4: front-end programs for PostgreSQL 8.4
This package contains client and administrative programs for
PostgreSQL: these are the interactive terminal client psql and
programs for creating and removing users and databases.
.
This is the client package for PostgreSQL 8.4. If you install
PostgreSQL 8.4 on a standalone machine, you need the server package
postgresql-8.4, too. On a network, you can install this package on
many client machines, while the server package may be installed on
only one machine.

- postgresql-contrib-8.4: additional facilities for PostgreSQL
The PostgreSQL contrib package provides several additional features
for the PostgreSQL database. This version is built to work with the
server package postgresql-8.4. contrib often serves as a testbed for
features before they are adopted into PostgreSQL proper:
.
adminpack - File and log manipulation routines, used by pgAdmin
btree_gist - B-Tree indexing using GiST (Generalised Search Tree)
chkpass - An auto-encrypted password datatype
cube - Multidimensional-cube datatype (GiST indexing example)
dblink - Functions to return results from a remote database
earthdistance - Operator for computing the distance (in miles) between
two points on the earth's surface
fuzzystrmatch - Levenshtein, metaphone, and soundex fuzzy string matching
hstore - Store (key, value) pairs
intagg - Integer aggregator/enumerator
_int - Index support for arrays of int4, using GiST (benchmark
needs the libdbd-pg-perl package)
isn - type extensions for ISBN, ISSN, ISMN, EAN13 product numbers
lo - Large Object maintenance
ltree - Tree-like data structures
oid2name - Maps OIDs to table names
pageinspect - Inspection of database pages
pg_buffercache - Real time queries on the shared buffer cache
pg_freespacemap- Displays the contents of the free space map (FSM)
pg_trgm - Determine the similarity of text based on trigram matching
pg_standby - Create a warm stand-by server
pgbench - TPC-B like benchmark
pgcrypto - Cryptographic functions
pgrowlocks - A function to return row locking information
pgstattuple - Returns the percentage of dead tuples in a table; this
indicates whether a vacuum is required.
seg - Confidence-interval datatype (GiST indexing example)
spi - PostgreSQL Server Programming Interface; 4 examples of
its use:
autoinc - A function for implementing AUTOINCREMENT/
IDENTITY
insert_ username - function for inserting user names
moddatetim e - Update modification timestamps
refint - Functions for implementing referential
integrity (foreign keys). Note that this is
now superseded by built-in referential
integrity.
timetravel - Re-implements in user code the time travel
feature that was removed in 6.3.
tablefunc - examples of functions returning tables
uuid-ossp - UUID generation functions
vacuumlo - Remove orphaned large objects
